"Feeding Tropical Fish - Not As Easy As You Think"," Believe it or not, feeding tropical fish takes more than just sprinkling some fish flakes in the top of the tank.
Let's examine a few of the more common mistakes and how to correct them when feeding tropical fish.
Often, pet owners misinterpret the act of a fish waiting at the top of the tank around feeding time; they assume they have not been giving their fish enough food, and so they feed them even more.
People often show the same behavior - eating out of boredom or habit alone and not because they are really physically hungry.
When feeding tropical fish, it's a great benefit to sometimes offer them special treats.
These treats should never replace their flakes or pellets as their main source of food, but occasional treats can help improve the general well-being of your fish, helping them feel happy and calm in much the same way that special treats make people feel better.
If you are interested in breeding your fish, you can offer them special treats to help them feel a bit calmer and assist them in getting ready to mate.
For most varieties of tropical fish, flake fish food is fine, and if you want, you can involve your whole family in feeding tropical fish by letting your kids sprinkle in some food at feeding time.
